No evidence that this school, est. in 2011, has established notability per WP:GNG. Green Cardamom (talk) 05:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Non-profit university-level institutions are automatically notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:BRANCH and Sinhgad Technical Education Society. This society has about 70 divisions. I don't believe every one is notable enough for a standalone article per WP:BRANCH: "Individual chapters, divisions, departments, and other sub-units of notable organizations are only rarely notable enough to warrant a separate article." -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:51, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep What Eastmain said. "In major developed countries, many independent, reliable sources about schools can be found on the Internet, beyond the scope of the trivial. However, outside those countries, and particularly for countries in Asia and Africa, Internet coverage is poor. Where this is the case then, to avoid systemic bias, local sources should be sought."WP:NHS, WP:NONPROFIT Anup Mehra ^✈ 01:21, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Based upon arguments above. The article itself is not terribly well written, but I'd argue to keep based on the above arguments and the hope that some difficult-to-extract sources could be found. {_C A S U K I T E ^T} 02:17, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Just a branch listing of the larger school, not independently notable. Allah is an akbar (talk) 06:31, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Merge with Sinhgad Technical Education Society. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 08:17, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (or possibly redirect) to Sinhgad Technical Education Society. No evidence that this branch of a larger institution is independently notable, and parts of a university are not inherently notable on their own. Egsan Bacon (talk) 17:08, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
